RE: MacAffee is stating that prizegiveaway.org is a dangerous site and blocks it
prizegiveaway.org is a website which is McAfee is blocking access to and which is why a virus scan does not show anything. http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/prizegiveaway.org It's a scam site - stay away from it.
RE: Failed wireless connection
Hi Kate, Follow these instruction to create a peer-to-peer network: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8339.html If this works and your husband can connect to it using his laptop then the airport card is good and something is wrong with your installation of OSX. If it doesnt work then your airport card is faulty / intermittently faulty and will need replaced.
RE: Failed wireless connection
Richard to the rescue….. hopefully! Kate, try these: 1. Turn Airport OFF 2. Navigate to the folder (NOTE THE DIFFERENCE): /YourHardDrive/YourHomeDirectoryLibrary/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and delete the files Jon listed: a) com.apple.airport.preferences.plist b) com.apple.nat.plist c) com.apple.network.identification.plist If you can't find your wireless network in the keychain then it means you have NEVER connected to it using the Mac but you also say that the Airport is on and the network name is ticked. Do you have a phone or another laptop with wireless? If so can you connect to the wireless? Try this as well: Go to System Preferences -> Network -> Airport -> Advanced -> Select your wireless network name and press "-" to delete it. Shutdown, restart and try again.
